- The laboratory provides you a clean container in which you have to collect the semen.
- The laboratory provides you a private room with wash room facility, close to the laboratory where you can collect your semen.
The method of collection is by masturbation. The ejaculate needs to be completely collected, and you should report any loss of any fraction of the sample. - The start of examination of the sample usually begins in 30 minutes from the time of collection of the sample.
- If anyone, for any reason must collect the ejaculate at another place, the specimen container should be kept close to the body under the clothes – for instance, in the armpit – during transport and should be delivered to the laboratory preferably within 30 minutes after collection and at least no longer than 50 minutes after collection.
